According to Balmer formula,

Wave number (? ) = R_H [1/n₁²- 1/n₂²]cm^-1

= 109678 [1/2² – 1/4²] cm^-1

= (109678 x 3) / 16 cm^-1

λ = 1 /? = 16 / (109678 x 3) cm = 16 x 10⁷ / (109678 x 3) nm = 486 nm

The number of radial land angular nodes in 4d orbital are, respectively

Payal Gupta

In 4d orbital, n = 4 and $l = 2$

Radial nodes = $n - l - 1$

Radial nodes = 4 – 2 – 1 = 1

And angular nodes, $l = 2$
